There is no phoenix

In a blink of an eye, it is already the 24th of the first month.

On this day, Daiyu and Xueyan had nothing to do, they changed into men's clothes and went out. When they arrived at the street, they met Li Tai riding a horse.

Seeing Daiyu, Li Tai hurriedly stopped and jumped off the horse, and said with a smile, "Sister Yu'er, why don't you come to my house to learn how to ride a horse?"

Daiyu said: "Brother Tai, my father is very busy and doesn't have time to take me out."

Li Tai said: "Why don't you follow me now, my house is right in front."

Daiyu said happily after hearing this: "That's good, but don't tell my father, my father said that you can't just go to other people's homes."

Li Taidao: "I know this, my father also told me so. Come on, try to get on the horse now, and I will help you up."

Daiyu looked at the horse and said with some fear: "Brother Tai, what should I do if it runs as fast as I can? I'm afraid of falling off."

Li Tai hurriedly said: "Don't be afraid, in fact, horses are the most docile. You see, before you get on the horse, if you gently touch its neck and body, it will agree with your friendship to it. If you get along with it for a long time , you must feel that it can also be a good friend."

After hearing this, Daiyu approached the horse slowly, and raised her hand to stroke the horse, but she was still a little afraid.

Seeing that Daiyu was timid, Li Tai hurriedly approached and took Daiyu's hand, slowly put it on the horse, and comforted him: "Sister Yu'er, just stroke it a few times like this, and then, look at me." He jumped onto the horse, held the rein, walked slowly a few steps, jumped off the horse again, and said to Daiyu, "Sister, can you see clearly?"

Daiyu nodded.So Li Tai helped Daiyu get on the horse and asked, "Are you afraid of this?"

Daiyu shook her head and said, "I'm not afraid, but Brother Tai, you must not let the horse go fast."

Li Tai hurriedly said: "Sister, don't worry, I will help you lead the horse and walk slowly. When you get to my house, you can hold the rein yourself."

After walking more than ten steps, Daiyu said, "Brother Tai, give me the reins, and I will try it myself."

Li Tai handed the rein to Daiyu and said, "Sister Yu'er, you are like this now, if you want to stop, just pull the rein lightly, if you want to continue walking, or if you want to go faster, if you don't have a whip, just pull on the rein." Shake the reins, or pinch the horse with your legs."

Daiyu rode on the horse, and said with a smile: "I understand now, why brother Tai likes riding a horse and not riding a car, it's so comfortable!"

Li Tai said with a smile: "Sister Yu'er, with your current state, you can't even ride a horse. If you ride a horse and run on a wide flat ground, it will be exciting."

After hearing this, Daiyu couldn't help enviously saying: "If I learn it, I'd like to try riding a horse in the wild. I remember a poem that said, 'The ears of the bamboo stick are sharp, and the wind enters the four hooves lightly.' How free and easy it would be!"

Li Taidao: "That's a verse in Du Fu's "The Poetry of Cao Huma of Fang Bing". Huma is named Dawan, with sharp edges and thin bones. The ears of the bamboo pole are sharp, and the wind enters the four hooves lightly. The direction is endless, it is really embarrassing. The best horses can only be found in Mobei. I heard that the hard-earned BMW is a good horse from the original Dawan Kingdom. Unfortunately, it is difficult to buy it here with money. "

Daiyu said: "Brother Li Tai, you are so powerful, why do you know everything?"

Li Tai said with a smile: "I saw it by flipping through the book. I'm going to my house soon, sister Yu'er, just go like this, this horse will naturally take you to my house."

Daiyu smiled and said, "I know this, it's called old horse knowing the way."

When they arrived at Li Tai's house, Li Tai led Daiyu to a courtyard.Daiyu saw that the yard was not big, but it was a very flat sandy land.Li Tai asked Daiyu if she wanted to eat, Daiyu shook her head and said, "I don't want anything, I just want to learn how to ride a horse quickly." After that, she rode the horse around the yard for a few times, nodded and said, "I don't think it's difficult to learn like this, why not?" My dad said that girls will fall when they learn to ride a horse."

Li Taidao: "Sister Yu'er, it's more convenient for you to wear our men's clothes now. When my sister was learning how to ride a horse, she often lost her shoes. One of her feet had shoes and the other didn't."

Daiyu laughed and said, "Why did you lose your shoes?"

Li Taidao: "My younger sister is learning to ride a horse and wears embroidered shoes, so the shoes are easy to fall off after walking a few steps."

After more than an hour, Daiyu was still very excited about riding a horse, Xueyan persuaded: "Girl, let's go back, otherwise Mother Wang and Uncle Lin will be in a hurry."

Daiyu stopped after listening.

Li Tai went over to help Daiyu get off the horse, and said with a smile, "Sister Yu'er, seeing how hard you are studying, I don't think you're afraid of riding a horse now, are you?"

Daiyu smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, I still want to go out riding a horse, but I can't do it today. I have to read and write in the afternoon, and my father said that I have to check my homework at night."

Li Tai said: "Don't worry about this, just come back when you are free someday. My husband is not here today, or I will also learn martial arts and read books."

Daiyu heard this and said: "Brother Tai, your husband taught you to read and write, and also taught you martial arts?"

Li Taidao: "No, my husband taught me to learn martial arts. When I grow up, I will go to the military officer exam. If I can become a general, that is my greatest wish. Reading and writing are ordered by my father."

Daiyu sighed: "It's a pity that I'm a girl, or else I want to be like you, Brother Tai, learn martial arts besides studying, and become generals when I grow up. Let's go to the battlefield to kill the enemy together!" After saying that, she laughed: "It's a pity I can only dream. Brother Tai, I should go back, thank you for teaching me how to ride a horse!"

Li Tai sent Daiyu and Xueyan out, and saw that Daiyu was almost at the residence, so he returned.

In the evening of that day, Lin Ruhai called Lin Zhong to his room, and said: "Lin Zhong, I remember you said last time that your eldest daughter-in-law will have a baby at the end of this month, and I want you to go back to Gusu within two days. However, you have to do two things for me when you go back. You help me sell those farm and mountain shops, convert them into cash, and leave only [-] mu of land for sacrifice, and one of the best shops. Second, you Help me get rid of the servants in the mansion, and say that I see them for their loyalty to the Lin family for many years, let them all return to freedom, and don't want their ransom money. However, you have to choose two reliable family members with a small population Stay here and let them take care of the sacrifice field and guard the house or look at the shop temporarily. Of the expensive and bulky furnishings in the mansion, only the wooden utensils and a few things that cannot be moved are kept, and the rest are all sold for cash, which are light and easy to move Valuable items need to be registered separately. I’ll give you a month, see if you can handle it?”

Lin Zhong was puzzled.

Lin Ruhai sighed: "Lin Zhong, now you are my brother, I will tell you the truth, I have already asked Master Zhitong, my time is less than a year, more than half a year. I must arrange everything during this time period, no matter what Family affairs are still state affairs. Now you are the only person I trust the most, and you have a lot to do for me. I hope you can help me because we are brothers now. The emperor has sent people south, and I can’t go here Open, please."

Lin Zhong heard this, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, brother, I understand your intentions, and I will go back tomorrow afternoon!"

Lin Ruhai instructed again: "Don't disclose my affairs in front of Yu'er, let her be as simple as before."

Lin Zhong nodded and said, "Brother, I know."

In the afternoon of the next day, Lin Zhong was about to go out with his pack on his back, but he saw Daiyu and Xueyan untying the Nine Rings under the eaves.Seeing that Lin Zhong was about to go out, Daiyu hurriedly asked, "Uncle Lin, where are you going?"

Lin Zhongdao: "It's your sister-in-law who is about to give birth, so Uncle Lin wants to go back and have a look."

Daiyu heard this and said, "Uncle Lin, help me choose a good horse next time I come back."

Lin Zhongdao: "Yu'er, your father is worried that you haven't learned how to ride a horse, so I advise you not to pick a horse in such a hurry. Yu'er, study and write well. When I come back, I will definitely bring you some of our Gusu snacks."

Daiyu laughed and said, "Uncle Lin, come back earlier, Xueyan and I are waiting."
